LibriVox recording of Tales of 1928: A Selection of Folktales, Fables, and Legends from Books Published in 1928 by Various.
Read in English by Librivox Volunteers.

This anthology of folktales, fables, and legends has been selected from twenty different books published in 1928, covering a range of European stories (ancient and modern) along with stories from the Middle East, Asia, Africa, and the Americas. Many, but not all, of the stories are for young readers, featuring some well-known authors of children's literature, including Erick Berry, Paul Fenimore Cooper, Georgene Faulkner, and Eva March Tappan, among others. Several stories come from the "Book Trails" series, a 16-volume collection of stories and poems for children that was published in 1928 (and later reissued as an 8-volume series in 1946). - Summary by Laura Gibbs
